"Dongdong, Dongdong!"

The drums of war roared, shaking the heavens and the earth.

A sudden outbreak of slaughter broke out, tearing through the night and terrifizing the military and civilians of Pyongyang.

On the city wall, the defenders held torches high, trying to illuminate the front and see clearly what the opponent was going to do, especially near the dirt slope, from time to time someone threw the torch down, but unfortunately there was no one on the dirt slope, empty, cold, weird, like the road of Wang Quan.

However, there was an army gathered in front of the team, each with a crossbow, staring indifferently ahead, there was a fighting spirit brewing in the team, and it would break out at one point, Li Yixie mobilized in front of the team, and shouted coldly: "Brothers, as soon as the war drums stop, rush forward with all my might, carry the first round of shooting, and then rush to the range of the repeater, shoot and kill all the enemies, and divide the troops according to the predetermined plan after landing in the city. ”

"Kill!"

A thousand people shouted loudly, and the momentum soared to the sky.

In the rear, Li Junxian was very satisfied when he saw this scene, his son had grown up, he had a little bit of his own style, he beckoned, and the guards sent a horse lance, Li Junxian took it and shook his arm hard, buzzing and exploding, and immediately shouted: "Remember it all for Lao Tzu, rush up and follow Lao Tzu to seize the city gate, the speed must be fast, there is no advance or retreat, there is death and no life." ”

"Obey!" The crowd shouted in unison.

The next moment, Li Junxian raised the horse lance.

War drums stop in real time, one drum, it's over!

Command of the general attack, up!

"Rush!"

Li Yixie roared angrily and took the lead in rushing to the dirt slope, and the soldiers saw that the general was so fierce, and they had no worries, and accelerated to rush up, one by one, their eyes were cold, and they raised their crossbows to lock forward.

The charge alarmed the defenders, and a rain of arrows roared.

Li Yixie's hand horse spear swept wildly, and when he saw the flying arrows flying, his feet did not stop, and he walked like flying, but there were also many people who were hit by arrows, fell down the soil slope, or fell to the ground, and became a stepping stone for the soldiers behind.

Charging against the rain of arrows was already dangerous, and death was inevitable, but no one flinched, rushing forward desperately, taking advantage of the second round of arrow rain to close the distance, Li Yixie saw that the second round was about to start again, and with an order, the soldiers in front shot one after another, shooting out the crossbows one by one.

"Hugh Hugh Hugh—"

One after another, the crossbows rang out one after another, firing out one after another, densely intertwined, like a deadly dynasty looming in front of the past.

"Ahh

In an instant, countless archers on the city wall were screaming and falling, and more lost soldiers flew over one after another, and the defenders who were pressed squatted down one after another, not daring to raise their heads, let alone fight back.

The soldiers took the opportunity to rush up, jumped on the battlements, their vision opened, and they shot hard at the defenders squatting under the city wall, Li Yixie shouted: "Jump down, don't block the brothers behind, kill-"

Under an order, the soldiers jumped down like tigers on the mountain, divided into two, and continued to output to the enemy, losing the fierce, swift, dense, like a violent storm, the defenders who killed fell one by one, and they couldn't stop it at all, but the soldiers were like a rock, and the fighting spirit was furious, stepping on the corpses of the defenders to continue to move forward and crush them.

Not long after, Li Junxian rushed up with the army, saw the emptied city wall, the corpses on the ground, and the crossbow was still in force, like a duck, squatting down immediately after the fight, replacing the arrow magazine, the people behind continued to fire, and rushed up from the gap, taking over the attack, no one could stop it, Tong Kong shrank to the ground, so terrible repeater.

The next moment, Li Junxian's fighting spirit soared and roared: "Brothers, come with me, kill and open the city gate." ”

"Kill-" The countless people behind him also increased their fighting intent more than the excitement, they are all forbidden troops, who obeys whom?

Under the city, beside the mound of earth.

Qin Huaidao saw that Li Junxian also led the team to rush up, at this time the enemy army will inevitably come to support, and it must be delayed, with a big move, Captain Yulin Wei decisively raised the leading horse.

"Dongdong, Dongdong!"

The second war drum sounded again, low and deep, shaking the night sky.

Cheng Chumo, Wei Chi Baolin and Luo Zhang, who had been impatient for a long time, were overjoyed, their eyes were full of war, the weapons in their hands pointed forward, and shouted: "Attack!" ”

"Rush!"

"Kill!"

The soldiers carried the ladder, held the shield, and rushed forward with a roar, and the archers did not move, and continued to release arrows at the city wall, covering the charge of the robes, although everyone was shooting arrows when the first war drum sounded, and the physical exertion was greater, but at this moment they all began to fight desperately.

Luo Zhang was also desperate, rushing in front with one horse in the lead, holding a shield in one hand and a horse lance in the other, when he saw a ladder erected, he rushed up without hesitation, and shouted: "Quick, climb up, there are not many heads." ”

The small number of people means that they can't make a few dollars, and they are suddenly anxious and climb up crazily.

"Duh!"

The two arrows were blocked by the shield, making a dull sound, Luo Zhang didn't care about much, climbed quickly, locked on the top with sharp eyes, and finally approached the wall after blocking another arrow, a defender probed out, and Luo Zhang stabbed the other party to death with a horse.

At this time, someone next to him took a fork and forked it, like opening a cloud ladder, Luo Zhang saw that the horse lance was out of reach, and struggled to overdraft it, and the horse lance turned into a black light, piercing the other party's chest.

The next moment, Luo Zhang climbed the wall and jumped up, the shield was in front of him, knocked the two people away, lost the shield, pulled out the dog-legged knife like lightning and waved, tore open the throats of the two people in front of him, kicked hard under his feet, pretended to pass directly, knocked two corpses away, brushed a few knives with the dog-legged knife in his hand, and put it on a few people, and came to the horse lance.

Ma Lance started, and Luo Zhang took the dogleg knife.

"Kill—"

A roar of rage was like thunder, shaking the surrounding enemies with fear.

Immediately afterwards, Luo Zhang swept through thousands of troops, and the sharp blade of the horse lance slashed out all the enemies in front of him, and his vision instantly widened a lot, and many soldiers took the opportunity to climb the city wall and join the battle group.

When the archers saw that the soldiers had climbed up the wall, they stopped shooting, and moved their sour arms, when they heard the great cheers and shouts coming from the west gate, as if the gate had been opened, and they turned their heads to look, and sure enough, they found that the army had been dispatched, and the tide was rushing forward.

An officer was overjoyed and shouted, "The gate is open, kill it, earn money, and if it's too late, you won't get anything." ”

"Let's go, earn money." The soldiers echoed one after another, regardless of the fact that their arms were still sore, and rushed up one after another, just as the people in front of them climbed up to the city along the ladder, without shelter, the city wall was in chaos, and the shouts of killing shook the sky, and no one cared about shooting and killing the people who climbed the ladder, and the archers took the opportunity to climb up.

The south gate was smoother, Li Yixie led people to rush and fight, turning the enemy on the city wall upside down, and Li Junxian's army followed behind him, blocking the steps that could come up one by one, blocking the enemies who tried to rush up, no one stopped them, and the soldiers entered the city smoothly along the ladder.

As soon as Cheng Chumo and Wei Chi Baolin's people arrived, the crossbows were frantically output, and the defenders who came up like a tide suddenly fell in large pieces, and the pressure of Li Junxian's army plummeted, and more people took the opportunity to climb the city wall, and the situation gradually reversed.

During the battle, Cheng saw the city gate open, Li Junxian's other troops rushed in, and the defenders in the city could not stop it, so they retreated one after another, leaving the city gate and entering the street.

"Brother, the walls are handed over to you." Cheng Chumo shouted to a lieutenant under Li Junxian, and without waiting for the other party to answer, he continued to shout: "Brothers, come with me and kill!" ”

"Kill—"

Everyone fought down the steps, stepping on the corpses all over the ground, losing continuously, and putting the enemies blocking the front to the ground one by one, no one could stop them, and Yu Chi Baolin also rushed down with the army.

Li Junxian was covered in blood, shouting happily, and suddenly found that the front was empty, there was no enemy, turned his head to look, Luo Zhang, Yu Chi Baolin and Cheng Chumo were leading the team to rush into the street, and the loss was like rain, quite a bit of crushing, the huge square at the gate of the city was full of thick corpses, and he was overjoyed, and shouted: "Order, take down the four gates, and keep them for Lao Tzu, quickly!" ”

"Obey!"

The pro-soldiers around him responded one after another and ran to give orders.

At this time, Cheng Chuliang, Cheng Chubi and Wei Chi Baoqi also rushed into the city with a large army, quickly dispersed, lined up in several rows, kept a certain distance from each other, and rushed forward in a dragnet style.

Seeing this scene, Li Junxian's eyes lit up: "This formation is a bit thin and risky, but with the terrifying rate of fire and the function of uninterrupted output of the repeater, it is a killing array, no one wants to slip through the net, it's a bit interesting!" I'm afraid that the Datang military will change in the future, but fortunately, Lao Tzu's son is also among them, hehe! ”

"General, let's just watch them kill?" Some generals shouted unwillingly.

"What, itchy hands?" Li Junxian asked rhetorically.

"Indeed, we finally got here, we can't watch others make meritorious contributions, right?"

"Obey the military order, guarding the four gates is a great achievement, don't forget that we are the first to break the city, it is enough to give face, don't forget that this good situation is made by others, without them, we have a chance to break the city?"

"The reason is this reason, and the brothers are either unconvinced, or greedy." The other party quickly explained.

"Lao Tzu is also greedy, but Zuo Shuai has an order, you must not disobey, you personally run, let the brothers guard the city gate, to prevent anyone from taking the opportunity to go out of the city, but also to prevent someone from taking the opportunity to kill into the city." Li Junxian solemnly reminded.

"You're saying someone out there is taking advantage of the opportunity to come in?"

"There is no big mistake in being careful, otherwise, with the wisdom of Zuo Shuai, we will let our 20,000 troops guard the city gate? Isn't this a waste of troops, there must be a reason, go ahead. Li Junxian admonished.

The other party's face was solemn, and he hurried away.

"I hope no one will come in at this time." Li Junxian looked at the outside of the city and muttered, and suddenly saw countless torches in the distance, coming like a long dragon, Tong Kong shrank and shouted: "Quick, find Li Yixie and let him come with a thousand crossbowmen."

"Obey!" Several guards around him clenched their fists and hurried away.

Li Junxian hurried to the mouth of the dirt slope, his own people could kill from here, and the enemy could too, and shouted to a captain: "Quick, go down and close the city gate, a large army will come." ”

"Huh?" The other party's face changed, and he followed what Li Junxian pointed at, and also found a long torch, and hurriedly rushed down the city, shouting for people to close the city gate.

There are dragon gate boulders at the west gate of Pyongyang, which can only be opened from inside the city as long as they fall, and there is a thick iron gate, perhaps I think these two gates are safe enough and strong, and they are not sealed with earth, otherwise they would not have been opened so quickly just now.

Outside the city, Qin Huaidao also discovered the abnormality, and rushed into the city with Yu Linwei on horseback, signaled Yu Linwei to help close the city gate, turned over and dismounted, rushed up the city wall along the steps, looked into the distance, looked at the long line in front of him, and his heart was inexplicably tight.

"Zuo Shuai, if it is the enemy, once it attacks, our army will be uncomfortable." Li Junxian said anxiously.

"Order, inform several generals to fight quickly, tell them that there is a large army outside the city, the enemy and I are unknown, in addition, let Yu Chi Baolin take the palace, besiege but not attack, and send two thousand crossbowmen to help defend." Qin Huaidao coldly ordered, it was too uncomfortable to have an enemy at this time, but it was impossible to give up the fruits of victory in hand.

There won't be too many troops in the palace, not to mention that the outer city is crazy, and if there is, they don't dare to come out, as long as they surround the palace and don't fight, and send two thousand people over it will not affect the overall situation, if they really want to come out, three thousand crossbows will be fired together, how many kills will be killed, and if not, they can immediately call friendly troops to support.

"Obey!" Several Yu Linwei hurried away.

"Looking at the number of torches, I'm afraid there are 20,000 people." Li Junxian reminded worriedly.

"Twenty thousand?" Qin Huaidao asked.

"Almost, the torch lighting distance is limited, one torch is used by three people, look at the number, 20,000 people are about the same." Li Junxian looked determined.

Qin Huaidao breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Twenty thousand people is good, any more is really troublesome." ”

"Twenty thousand people is a lot, but I have already asked someone to notify Li Yixie to come over, otherwise, I will take two thousand people to rush out of the city and stop them for an hour." Li Junxian proposed.

"Two thousand people stop 20,000 people for an hour, I'm afraid no one will survive, no, the price is too great, wait for Captain Chi Baolin to send two thousand crossbowmen over, plus Li Yixie's three thousand people, and your 20,000 people, it's not a big problem to hold on." Qin Huaidao said confidently.

Li Junxian thought of the terrifying rate of fire of the repeater, and waited in his heart.

At this time, Li Yixie hurried over with 3,000 people, and also saw the torch dragon getting closer and closer, his face changed, and he scolded: "Appearing at this time, just hitting the key node, these bastards are too good at choosing the right time, I want to see who it is, brothers, disperse, and prepare for war!" ”

3,000 men were ordered to disperse one after another, inspect their equipment, replace their arrow boxes, and prepare for a big battle.

The torches outside the city were getting closer and closer, but it was dark and it was impossible to see the identity of the person who came.

At this moment, many of Li Junxian's subordinates understood why Qin Huaidao let 20,000 people guard the city gate, it was too necessary, too wise, and they were ready to fight again, but they didn't kill enough just now, and the officers above the captain level surrounded them, looking at Qin Huaidao and waiting for orders.

Qin Huaidao did not arrange tactics immediately, the enemy's intentions were unknown, and it was not good to deploy rashly, staring at the front carefully, his eyes gradually narrowed into a slit, and there was a terrifying killing intent beating inside.

Not long after, the outsiders from outside the city stopped their formation, looking like they were going to attack.

"Li Yixie!" Qin Huaidao shouted murderously.

"In!"

"Arrange 600 people to guard the mound, a group of 300 people, two-stage defense tactics, there is only one task, give me to defend this slope, and no one is allowed to kill it, can it be done." Qin Huaidao asked.

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!" Li Yixie replied solemnly.

"The remaining four hundred men will guard the city gate for me to prevent the enemy from knocking on the door, and the others are ready to fight, and they must block the enemy and hold the results in hand." Qin Huaidao shouted, his voice was cold and domineering.

"Obey!" The crowd agreed.

"Come, I want to see who dares to come up and send me to death, and take my horse lance." Qin Huaidao shouted.

A Yu Linwei hurriedly came over with a horse lance.

With the horse lance in hand, the fighting spirit doubled.

The majestic body, calm response, and fierce style all affect the surrounding soldiers.

Even Li Junxian's blood was boiling, and he couldn't help but want to rush down and kill him.

At this time, a man in front of him came on horseback, holding a torch, which was a little too high to see his face, and rushed to the vicinity of the dirt slope and shouted, "Your own people, don't shoot arrows blindly." ”

"Huh?"

The familiar voice made everyone a little confused, and they looked at each other, Qin Huaidao looked at Li Junxian.

Li Junxian felt that the voice was very familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was for a while, and shouted: "Who is coming?" ”

"Your grandmother's, Li Junxian, can't you hear Lao Tzu's voice?" The rough voice sounded again.

Li Junxian suddenly thought of a person, and immediately overjoyed, and shouted excitedly: "Are you an old bastard?" Lao Tzu thought it was the enemy's reinforcements, and he almost shot you, he didn't come early, he didn't come late, but he came at this time. ”

"What's going on with you?" The other party yelled.

"As soon as Lao Tzu entered the city, you appeared, and what situation did you say, it almost hurt us."

"Ahh

The other party exclaimed and stopped moving.

Li Junxian hurriedly explained to Qin Huaidao: "Zuo Shuai, my own person, is Xue Wanche's old bastard. ”

"The imperial army has arrived?" Qin Huaidao was startled, and immediately smiled bitterly, he couldn't wait for a long time, but he appeared at this time, it was really scary, but fortunately, he made a false alarm, and immediately revised the order: "Order, tell a few generals that the plan remains unchanged, don't come over, your own people outside." ”

"Obey!" A few more Yu Linwei hurriedly left.

"This bastard almost ruined us." Li Junxian scolded.

"Forget it, they also made an unintentional mistake, and they hurried here overnight, and it was also a good intention, telling them to go to the camp to rest, and they can't enter the city at this time, so as not to have a misunderstanding." Qin Huaidao said with a smile, it's good if it's your own person, if the enemy comes, this battle is really troublesome.

Li Junxian nodded knowingly, at this time, let outsiders in, wouldn't it be to pick peaches, share the merits of the war, don't even think about it, and shouted loudly: "Lao Xue, there is a fierce battle in the city, I don't have time to pay attention to you, go to the camp to rest, and then set up a banquet after the war to entertain everyone." ”

"There is an order from the saint to let Zuo Shuai see the driver." The thick voice sounded again, like thunder.

"The saint is coming?" Li Junxian was taken aback.

Qin Huaidao's face also changed, and he looked at the person with the torch in the night in front of him incredulously, if it wasn't for Li Junxian's identity, he absolutely suspected that there was fraud, how could the saint come here?

The thick voice sounded again: "Nonsense, Lao Tzu can still trick you." ”

Qin Huaidao didn't dare to slack off, and immediately said: "Uncle Li, the command here will be handed over to you, and I will go to see the saint." ”

"It's okay, don't worry, I'm here, I promise it's okay." Li Junxian agreed.

Qin Huaidao left the weapon, turned over on the wall battlement, jumped down the dirt slope and rushed over, and soon disappeared into the night.

Li Junxian looked in the direction of the army in the distance, his mind was surging, and after signaling Li Yixie to approach, he whispered: "You go and tell Cheng Chumo and Wei Chi Baolin that the imperial army has arrived, whether to take the palace overnight, or wait for the imperial army to come after dawn, they decide for themselves." ”

Take the palace overnight, the credit of destroying the country will fall on Qin Huaidao, and everyone will also have a share, and if the court changes generals to attack after dawn, the credit will be much less, although it is unlikely that the generals will be replaced, but what if?

Li Yixie was not stupid, he understood it and went in a hurry.

Qin Huaidao didn't know Li Junxian's kindness, so he hurriedly ran down the dirt slope, and took a closer look, it was really Xue Wanche, although he was not familiar with it, but he still knew him, and stepped forward to salute: "I've seen General Xue!" ”

"Don't you dare to be, I've seen Zuo Shuai, you guys are too fast." Xue Wanche's words were obviously emotional, he finally caught the battle, traveled thousands of miles, and crossed the sea, but he followed all the way to eat ashes, and finally arrived in Pyongyang, the city was broken, and nothing was fished, what is this called?

Qin Huaidao smiled and did not argue.

The two walked towards the camp, and Xue Wanche couldn't help but ask: "Zuo Shuai, I heard that there are 100,000 troops in Pyongyang, do you want to help, the brothers came overnight, and they are looking forward to a battle." ”

"The army is fighting, the two sides are mixed together, and the sudden appearance of an army is easy to cause misunderstanding, let's take a look, no, you can go again." Qin Huaidao refused, having full trust in his army.

50,000 against 100,000, the strength is indeed not superior, but there are enough crossbows, and there are also prepared for several days to lose and feather arrows, and it is a narrow street battle in the city, the advantage of troops cannot be brought into play, and it is easy to shoot and kill when crowded together.

Xue Wanche was unwilling, but it was not easy to force.

Soon, the two came to the camp, and the peripheral guard troops recognized Xue Wanche and immediately let him go, Qin Huaidao looked at the outfit of this army, and was shocked in his heart, and asked, "It's all Yu Linwei?" ”

"That's right, 20,000 Yu Lin Wei, the Holy Lord cares about the war, and is worried that you will not have enough strength, so he took Yu Lin Wei as the vanguard and arrived first, and the other troops are behind, and the Holy Lord values you very much." Xue Wanche explained, turned over and dismounted, handed over the war horse to one person, caught up with Qin Huaidao, and added in a low voice: "When the letter from my brother is received, Da En remembers in his heart, what is the use of the old man, just open your mouth." ”

"General Xue is polite, it should be my thanks to Governor Xue for his great help!" Qin Huaidao said with a smile.

"You kid, you know how to be a man better than your father." Xue Wanche sighed.

I couldn't answer this, Qin Huaidao smiled.

The two soon came to the Zhongjun tent, there were Yulin guards guarding the door, and they recognized the two of them and let them go directly, someone opened the door curtain, and there was a sound of talking inside, Qin Huaidao heard that it was really Li Er, and Li Jing's voice, he hurried in, and solemnly luggage: "The last general Qin Li, I have seen the saint!" ”

"Hahaha, I'm coming, ...... Have a backbone, quick, let's talk about what is going on in Pyongyang first? Li Er was originally sitting, but he got up with a feverish gaze.

Li Jing and the others also looked over, their eyes full of curiosity.

"Back to the saint, as soon as the last general entered the city, the imperial army appeared, and I thought it was the enemy army coming to help, which scared me to death." Qin Huaidao hurriedly said.

They are all veterans of the battlefield, they understand too well the feeling of finding a large army after attacking the city, and they will be scared to stop the attack if they are not scared to death, Li Er reacted, smiled embarrassedly, and threw Li Jing a look, Li Jing said knowingly: "The saint is worried about you, he hurried overnight, and he has not rested for two days and two nights, I didn't expect you to fight so fast all the way, and dare to attack overnight, what is the situation in the city now, do you want to send people to support?" ”

"Don't use it for the time being, hundreds of thousands of troops in the city are strangled together, and there are too many people to show it, so wait first." Qin Huaidao refused again, and finally won it, and the brothers below didn't want the credit to be taken away.

How could Li Jing not guess Qin Huaidao's thoughts, but he still asked worriedly, "How sure are you?" ”

"Six or seven." Qin Huaidao said, his eyes full of confidence.

Li Er said with satisfaction: "It's that I have delayed you, go, take Pyongyang for me, if you need support, send someone to say, although my army has been running for a long time and is a little sleepy, it can still fight." ”

"Thank you, Shengshang, promise to take Pyongyang for Shengshang before dawn." Qin Huaidao said solemnly, at the time of the war, too many decisions were waiting for him, and the longer he delayed here, the more disadvantageous it would be.

As soon as he stepped out of the tent of the Chinese army, a huge cheer was heard from the city of Pyongyang, which shook the night sky and buzzed.

Qin Huaidao's face changed, and he hurriedly rushed over.

Li Er came out with him, and he also heard cheers, looked at the direction of Pyongyang City and asked uncertainly, "Pharmacist, do you hear that?" What is the sound? ”

"It's like a lot of people are shouting, something should have happened."

"Do you want to ......" Li Er wanted to say that he would send troops, but he couldn't help thinking of Qin Huaidao's reminder.

Street fighting is not a field battle, there are too many people, and it is counterproductive if it cannot be used.

Li Jing also understood this truth, and proposed: "Shengshang, the minister suggested that the army gather under the city, and seize the soil slope, once necessary, it is good to go in at any time to support, the opportunity is rare, and the opportunity to take Pyongyang City and pacify Goguryeo must not be missed." ”

Li Er's combat experience was also rich, and he also thought of this, and decisively ordered: "General Xue, you bring someone over." ”

"Obey!"

Xue Wan couldn't wait to take the opportunity to get credit, and he was overjoyed and hurriedly went.
